  • That link linked to /modcoord at perhaps dozens of moderators promised to leave, which is far more impactful than users. I know just from watching kbin, lemmy and other sites grow from this summer on that hundreds to thousands likely left reddit. Unfortunately it’s probably a drop in the bucket but Web 2.0 was always probably going to win. The only real way I can see of us getting out of that en masse if when each site inevitably kills themselves through mismanagement.


  • I actually used to rely on that, using site:reddit.com for most searches. Reddit had some of the best in-depth discussion and tech advice I could find. Compared to the multitudes of blogs, YT videos, and decades-old forum posts that normally came up, reddit usually provided useful info. And it’s pretty much the only reason I’m ever on the site now: the only results for some searches are on reddit.

    Eventually if the quality of the posts decline, their SEO presence probably will as well. But google has been absolute dogshit for about a year now so who knows what that field will look like in another year. =/


  • Ever since earlier this year I’ve had WAY more friends, family and news articles I’ve seen mention or link to reddit than the past. I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias since I left reddit or if it just gained popularity at the same time or what. But I used reddit for ~12 years and few other people in my circle used it heavily. Now it seems like it exploded?





  • My parents have a ranch house, 3 adult kids and medical issues. Assuming they don’t go to a home and have to sell their house to afford it, my brother is going to need it a lot more than I do. Similar in laws. It would be the same for in law grandparents but they happened to be the type that will die before seeking help. It’ll probably get us sued by disgruntled family in inheritance disputes anyways.

    We’re on our own.




  • Important info:

    -The breach window was roughly 1:30 PM-2:30 PM Eastern (1830-1930 UTC+0) on 12/25.
    -Downfall is safe to launch once more, and has been since roughly 2:30-2:40 PM Eastern on 12/25 (1920 UTC+0 on 12/25).
    -If you did not launch Downfall in the breach window, you’re clear.
    -If you got an automatic update for Downfall on 12/25 but did NOT launch, you’re clear.
    -If you launched Downfall via the Steam Workshop (meaning you actually launched Slay the Spire), you’re clear.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and succeeded and everything looked normal, you’re clear.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and saw a command-prompt like screen, that starting spitting out a bunch of text after about 10 seconds, you’re in the clear. That was actually just the Java log which we usually keep hidden, but accidentally left visible when we restored the game.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and got a ‘no .exe found’ type of error, you’re clear. That was us exploding the game to prevent anyone else from being affected.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 during the breach window and got a Unity library installer popup, please continue to read. You may be also at risk.
